She has recorded extensively with The Chieftains and was principal harpist with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, having completed her studies at the London’s Royal College of Music and the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. In 2013, along with The Chieftains, Triona was awarded an honorary doctorate from Dublin Institute of Technology in recognition of her contribution to Irish music.

Wexford consists of over 20 harp players who play and sing all types of music and songs at events both locally and internationally.
